And I was waiting for your comments (not necessarily your actions)
before doing so :) Well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I try my best :)

This makes me curious. Reading through the RPA transcript, it's not
clear that the non-RDoc documentation is actually built. There's
copious details of everything else, yet no mention of that. Yet the
dev-utils RPA, as opposed to the dev-utils gem, specifies a dependency
on cstemplate and redcloth. Are they actually used?
This is interesting as a matter of packaging policy. I'd like to
assist users in building local documentation, but in this era of
universal Internet access, people (I think) tend to just hit the
website, which has exactly the same information.
Cheers,
Gavin
BTW, I can't install dev-utils with rpa-base 0.2.2. I know earlier
versions had an issue with Cygwin, but thought that was resolved.
Besides, I don't see any error messages during the install:
